Your pursuit of operational excellence is a mechanism for brand destruction.
The moat is management.

1. Protect the decisions that require empathy or intuition to safeguard your Irreducible Human Core.
2. Enforce the boundaries your AI is never allowed to cross.
3. Design systems that manage the output, not just the task.
